In the 14th year of Jiajing's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Guangning prepared the imperial camp. The command of the camp was concurrently held by Yuan Lin, the commander of the Guangning Guards, who has now been taken hostage.
The basic battalion officers in the entire Beiyu camp include three thousand generals, six generals, and sixty team managers. It is a very standard camp military system.
Among them was a general named Tang, who was the uncle of Mrs. Li Shuli, and this general was directly appointed by General Liu of Liaodong Town.
Mrs. Li had previously confessed to Qin Dewei that her family came to Guangning to seek refuge with Mr. Liu, and they are currently staying at the home of their uncle, Mr. Tangba.
Qin Dewei also hinted to Mrs. Li that Mr. Liu was not an authentic person.
Then the two sides reached a tacit understanding and stopped talking about Liu Zongbing. They only talked about romance in their daily interactions and kept the window paper unpierced.
However, romantic fairy tales must return to reality. Today, Qin Dewei asked Mrs. Li to read the edict, which broke the tacit understanding that had been maintained for several days.
Suppose General Liu had obtained the power to quell the rebellion, but Qin Dewei was still an imperial envoy without a seal and detained by the rebels.
Then there is no "conflict" between the two parties, or Qin Dewei can only pretend to be a grandson in order to save his life, and does not dare to have "conflicts", so he can live in harmony with Mrs. Li.
But in the end, the imperial court gave Qin Dewei the power to quell the rebellion, so "contradictions" were destined to occur.
That's why Mrs. Li said, "You shouldn't read this edict."
Qin Dewei said to Mrs. Li, "Come here and give orders to the officers and soldiers of this Imperial Envoy." This was actually a kind of test.
This is a kind of compliment, and it is also a way to get promoted. When a normal battalion officer hears this offer, there is absolutely no reason to refuse.
If there is hesitation or refusal, it can only mean one thing: Ms. Li and her group, or Mr. Tangba are really Mr. Liu’s agents.
It is speculated from this that the internal agents placed by General Liu among the rebels were probably controlled by General Tang, which was also the reason why the Li family appeared in the Beiyu camp.
If Qin Dewei wants to eliminate the interference of General Liu and calm the chaos, the biggest help would be to reverse the general strategy of Mrs. Li and her uncle Tang Bao.
But it's difficult. Why would anyone give up and betray an old comrade or superior for someone with whom they had no friendship before?
Therefore, the conversation between Qin Dewei and Mrs. Li reached a deadlock.
After Qin Dewei was silent for a while, he pierced the last layer of window paper and asked without reservation:
"Now that the matter has come to this, the commander-in-chief Liu Huai will never sit back and watch me make my contribution to quell the chaos, right?"
Mrs. Li replied: "The slave family doesn't know this either, but judging from the attitude of the slave family uncle, it should be so."
Qin Dewei asked straightforwardly again: "Is it your uncle's instigation that you come to see me often? It's actually a kind of surveillance, right?"
If it were an ordinary woman in this era, hearing such words, she would probably hang her head in guilt and shame.
Mrs. Li's reaction was still different, and she responded to Qin Dewei: "If the slave family doesn't want to come, my uncle can't force me."
Qin Dewei suddenly saluted Mrs. Li: "You must be afraid that I will be in danger, so you often come to see me.
I understand in my heart, and I would like to thank you for your kindness, you are really a good woman!"
Mrs. Li's heart skipped a few beats, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that the slave family doesn't want to help you, but the slave family is a junior woman who has no ability to control my uncle and can't come up with any ideas!
But you are the number one scholar, if you can think of any way to make uncle change his mind, the slave family will definitely help you!"
Qin Dewei returned to the chair, held his head in pain and sat down, saying in a harsh voice: "There is no way!"
When Mrs. Li heard that "there is a way", she was immediately delighted, but at the same time she was confused, why did she sound so painful?
After waiting for a while, Qin Dewei saw that Qin Dewei had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but urge: "You should tell me."
Qin Dewei raised his head again and said with dull eyes: "I will marry you! Will this impress your eldest brother and your uncle?"
There was a loud bang in Miss Li's head, and she was trembling all over.
Qin Dewei shouted as if he was giving up on himself: "I am an imperial envoy. I know many important people, and I can also give you a lot of benefits! It will not be less than what the general soldier gave you!"
"You're not lying? Don't you have a fiancée?" Miss Li asked subconsciously.
Qin Dewei replied: "I am the number one scholar in the world, how can I lie to others on such a big matter!"
The sudden and huge surprise shocked Mrs. Li to the point where she couldn't tell what was going on. She walked out dizzy, "I'm going to talk to my eldest brother and uncle."
In storytelling scripts, there are also many stories about people living in the border areas and marrying foreign princesses or border generals to borrow troops.
Such a good-looking Wenquxing No. 1 winner! He has both good looks and good looks! He also has a lot in common with me!
Seeing Mrs. Li walking to the door of the house, Qin Dewei suddenly shouted again: "Wait a minute!"
Mrs. Li turned around, embarrassed to look at her "fiancé", and said stiffly: "What else do you want to explain?"
Qin Dewei hesitated expressionlessly for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I lied to you."
What? In her heart, Mrs. Li doesn’t want to believe that she has been deceived, or she might as well keep being deceived.
But Qin Dewei repeated it again: "Wake up! I really lied to you when I said I would marry you!"
The ups and downs of life were so exciting that Mrs. Li's brain was instantly blown again.
Her tears flowed out like a bursting dam, and she cried and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"
Qin Dewei seemed to be telling the truth: "General Liu, for his own selfish interests, is causing trouble at the border, and your uncle is working as an aide!
As an imperial envoy, I should do whatever it takes to put an end to the chaos as soon as possible for the sake of the overall interests of the border. You also said that good people cannot be officials! It’s nothing to lie to you!
But in the end I discovered that I still can’t lie to you without conscience!”
The feeling just now was so unforgettable that Miss Li complained: "Then what do you want me to do!"
Qin Dewei waved his hand weakly: "It's impossible between us, forget me,
At worst, I will be framed by a scoundrel like Mr. Liu, my mission will fail, and I will be punished back to the capital.
If I fail because I am powerless, General Liu, as the victor, should not take my life, and at least I can get out of Liaodong alive."
Mrs. Li looked at Qin Dewei blankly, and after a while she said: "I will help you!"
Qin Dewei grabbed Mrs. Li's hand and said, "Don't do anything stupid! If it's for me, it's really not worth it!"
Miss Li said seriously: "I believe you. Although you may have been lying to others, you are still a good person at heart. You will not treat us badly."
Qin Dewei: ""
What should I do if I can’t continue acting?
"How do I look like a good person?" Qin Dewei couldn't help but asked: "How can you tell?"
Miss Li wiped her tears and said as she walked: "I won't tell you, of course I have my own opinion."
